Where We Serve: Mobile

Quick Facts

Life in the City

Mobile is a friendly, easygoing city within driving distance of many other ACE communities, ensuring that friendships made over the ACE Summer can be maintained. We also receive great support from the Mobile community through our schools, the Mobile ACE Advocates, Notre Dame Club of Mobile, Little Flower Parish and many other friends. We also enjoy the live music at downtown bars. There is a lot of “tourist” stuff to do: Bellingrath Botanical Gardens, the USS Alabama, etc. In addition, Mardi Gras is a fun time to be in the city.

Mobile

Mobile is a small metropolitan area nestled against the beaches of the self-proclaimed “Redneck Riviera”. It combines French Quarter flair – complete with the original Mardi Gras – with one of the largest Catholic populations in the Deep South. In addition to a great music and food scene, Mobile is also noted for being a magnet for minor league sports. Its many area colleges also provide opportunities to interact with young people.
